Harry S Truman, President from about 1945 to 1953, used Key West as a working holiday many times.  The house is restored to 1948 appearance.

A number of interesting areas included Truman's Poker table which could be changed by covering it with a lid and used as a tea table as Bess, Truman's wife did not approve of gambling.

Another was size of his working desk.  It was about 2 feet by 3 feet with a chair beside the desk for one secretary to take dictation from Truman.  How different today.

The excellent guide had many of Truman's famous quotes which added to the tour.
